    Summary

    It starts one day when Tim is walking down an institute hallway and passes Elias Bouchard, who is about four inches shorter than usual. Tim’s reaction is rather delayed; at first, he only has a general sense of unease, a feeling that something’s not quite right—but he can’t put his finger on it. Then he looks back and makes eye contact with Bouchard, and realizes with a jolt (first of surprise, then of delight) that he’s looking down.
    It starts properly the next week, when Jon comes in wearing boots that are far different from his normal work shoes.
    “Are those heeled boots?” gapes Tim.
    “Shut up, Tim,” Jon grumbles. “I figure if Elias gets to just make himself taller, I deserve at least an extra half inch.”

    Summary

    Tim is beginning to realize that research at the Institute is a very different beast from research at the publishing house. For one, there’s the content of the research. For two, there’s the actual research materials. And for three—

    “Come on, Tim.” Jon waves to him from halfway up the fence he’s currently scaling. “If I’m going to break my neck today, it had better be for a good reason.”

    For three, there’s the research methods.

    Tim gets paired with Jon for his first big research assignment. Things don't go that great.

    Summary

    “Yes, I have a family and did not just spawn directly from hell,” Elias says, pinching the bridge of his nose, “And yes, my mother makes us all wear matching sweaters. Now, if that will be all -,”
    “No,” Melanie says. “Why are all the men in your family bald?”
    There is a very charged moment where Elias doesn’t say anything at all, and Melanie knows they’ve caught him off guard. He takes a deep breath. “Style,” he says.
    “Are you going to go bald?” Martin asks.
